"General Sun has been stationed in our Xingyuan Prefecture for quite some time now. Our Wu Family has always wanted to call on him, but we never had the opportunity." Wu Ming spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Xu Dabao and Sun Li gradually came to their senses as well.
Only Wu Kai, straightforward as ever, had drained his cup in one go. By now, he was already sprawled in his chair, unconscious.
"I wonder if Lord Sun will have time the day after tomorrow. We would like to pay him a visit," Wu Ming said in a lowered voice.
It was impossible for them to visit General Sun by simply carrying gifts to his door. He would absolutely refuse to accept them.
Even if they sent over a calling card in advance requesting an audience, without any other connection, General Sun most likely would not meet them.
The reason he had asked his nephew to invite Chen Mo and the others over was precisely to use this opportunity to build a bridge and find an excuse for sending gifts to General Sun.
"As for this matter, I'll go back and ask my adoptive father whether he has time. I'll let you know afterward, Uncle Wu." Chen Mo agreed with a smile. He understood what the other party meant.

Wu Ming smiled
